He also collectes old gas pumps,the ones he is working on are inside the shop,luckly it didn't collapse on everything inside.
wouldnt it be cheaper to rebuild the roof?

and maybe strengthen the roof?

I can tell a difference in how my daughter acts about that kind of thing compared to other girls that didn't get told the straight scoop. I think she was 9 when she asked how babies were made, and we told her the truth. Now, we didn't get graphic or anything, just kept it "scientific", and she would think about it for a while, then come ask more questions. It was kind of funny watching her process the answers, then come back and ask other things. LOL....
Thanks Joe,that how its been with use to streight up don't talk down or sugar coat it.And boy do we get some funny looks from my oldest,but I want her to hear it from us first.

Mark,it push the room down enough to buckle the walls.You have to put a string on the beams to see the bends on the walls.

Its a steel building and there is not enough bracing in the building at all,so if anybody is thinking of putting one up make sure you brace the **** out of it.I guess thats why those buildings are so cheap.

My sister said that if they get what the ins.guy said they can have it rebuilt and still be money ahead.

maybe they need to go with a steeper roof...they way things are going they may get even more snow next year...otherwise the need a special tool to pull the snow off the roof before it buckles.

The last two years they have been hit by some bad ice storms and snow and there only 60 miles south of us.we are going to run cable acroos to add more suppot to the new building ot keep the walls from moving.

Still raining...

My friend got a press pass for the Daytona today... He's getting PAID to walk anywhere he wants and take pictures!

Don't know if i told you guys this one yet:

So a 12y/o boy is sitting watching TV when he heres screaming coming from his parents bedroom. He runs down there and only to find his dad on top of his mom doing dirty things. His dad turns around and smiles and says "hey get out of here". So he does.

About 15min. Later his mom and dad come walking down the hall and hear screaming coming from their sons bedroom. They run in there only to find their son on top of his grandma! He turns around and says. "AIN'T SO FUNNY WHEN ITS YOUR MOM! HUH!?"
